Ann Carlson, the celebrated New York-based choreographer, performer, director, and conceptual artist visits Stanford for two days of special public events. Carlson works collaboratively to build large-scale, site-specific works that address social, environmental and aesthetic issues through performance.
Carlson will speak about some of her recent projects and show examples from new works such as CAke, which researches the gestures of labor and the global flow of production by looking at the source-to-use trajectory of everyday products and includes Mary Ellen Strom's movement based video portraits of individual laborers.
